I enjoy this thread. Thank you OP.
What would Pokemon look like without the perversion of copyright?
bump for truth
The amount of effort/worth ratio of this essay makes this the stupidest thing ever posted here
it was originally on reddit about Star Wars. OP modified it for Pokemon
the James Bond franchise proves you wrong(he's technically public domain in certain parts of the world but the studio that makes the films found loopholes in the laws that would've made him public domain and used them to essentially own the character), and also you're retarded because you're basing this on trademark law in literally one country, while it's different everywhere else in the world.
>Ian Fleming, creator of James Bond
>Died 1964
>Family still owns the rights to his books in most countries
you are illiterate.
James Bond as a character has entered public domain in certain countries since copyright laws there are completely different. Literally takes two seconds to look that shit up user

OP is taking about America you brainlet. Countries would have their own separate copyright laws. This is why some movies are available on netflix in other countries, while others are not.
so user is still retarded there too since half the shit he's saying would enter public domain, wouldn't actually enter public domain.
